JIMI HENDRIX MEMORIAL in Renton… It is a beautiful tribute…

Today, you can visit the new Jimi Hendrix Memorial on the Eastside in Renton, WA. It’s truly something to see. A grand tribute by his father, Mr. James “Al” Hendrix!

My mother asked me if I wanted to go see the new Jimi Hendrix Memorial that his father just completed (my mom is a good friend). I asked her if it was very far away? She said, “No, it’s just down the street”. (I had always thought that it was somewhere up out of North Bend up in the mountains, but to my surprise, it’s just South of Sunset Blvd, in Renton). Little did I know that the it was that close… As we drove into the grounds of Greenwood Memorial Park, you couldn’t miss it, it’s a very large structure, and truly a grand and beauifully designed memorial and tribute to the legendary musician! I couldn’t wait to get out of the car and read the inscriptions. As you can see by my pictures, it is quite impressive indeed.

You can see the love that his father still has for his talented son, who was not on this earth long enough, by the detail and well thought out design. There are three panels, each with a different picture, with his song lyrics, words from his father, and other very profound and loving words. A complete loving tribute.

It’s truly worth going out to this memorial and getting a look at it. His father James “Al” Hendrix, spared no expense in building it. It’s deeply moving.
